Use your QWERTY keyboard as a MIDI controller.
Download the latest build from the link above (or scroll down for notes on how to build yourself) unzip and place KeyBro.app on ~/Applications.
A virtual MIDI is used to send MIDI messages between different applications. KeyBro needs one enabled on port 0.
Mac On Mac, the IAC bus allows you to create any number of virtual MIDI buses. This driver is built-in to OSX (since OS X 10.4) and can be activated in the Audio/MIDI Setup Utility.
To begin, launch Audio/MIDI Setup and select "Show MIDI Window" from the "Window" menu.
Now double-click the IAC Driver icon and check the option "Device is online" in order to activate it.
You can rename the port as you wish from within this window.
Once this is done, the ports will appear in your host application (Live, Logic, Cubase, etc) and can be used to send or receive MIDI Notes from KeyBro.
